Content Summary
This module will build on the language ability of 'non fluent' Welsh learners and encourage them to further develop their Welsh language skills. They will be given a variety of tasks based on their specialist academic field / potential career, either in a class or online. The written emphasis will be on a limited list of terms and phrases. With spoken Welsh, the attention will be on phrases that are likely to regularly arise in the workplace.
This module can be a step towards studying the set of Eich Gyrfa a’r Gymraeg modules for 'fluent' Welsh learners and ultimately, the Tystysgrif Sgiliau Iaith which is a qualification offered by the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol to test the ability to communicate professionally through the medium of Welsh.
